335/N54 fanboys get panties in a twist over a bolt on DCT E92 M3 pulling a JB4 tuned bolt on 335i

Oh yes, here we go the millionth time, the ever popular 335 versus M3 discussion. A user posted the video below of a bolt on DCT E92 M3 pulling a JB4 tuned 335i in the forums and the N54 fanboys went for the pitchforks and torches. For whatever reason 335 owners in particular seem to really want to attack the E92 M3 perhaps in justification of their own purchase. There is the typical "oh I didn't get an M3 because a tuned 335 is faster" nonsense that N54 fanboys tend to comfort themselves with in the never ending M3 versus 335 debate.

Even though the 335 in this video may have more power and torque in tuned form which the fanboys love to point out the other side of the coin is that the M3's redline and transmission are a huge advantage. Gearing is an area the M3 simply has an advantage over the 335 in and the transmission makes a big difference as one can see the shift speed in lower gears is really what gives the M3 the gains it sees in the race early on.

Up top, the tuned 335's horsepower advantage comes into play as the cars spend more time in gear negating the gear change advantage provided by the DCT allowing the 335 to inch up and close the gap.

This video is a good real world example as without race gas or meth a 335 will struggle against a tuned M3 especially one with DCT. Of course 335 owners will point out they can upgrade their turbos. Then M3 owners will say they can supercharge. Then the debate escalates and escalate and there are dozens of pages to read of M3 and 335 owners essentially throwing feces at each other. BMW fans, just enjoy 335 versus M3 round 400,000 in the video below.

Tq multiplication blah blah blah....everyone that is serious about modding a m3 gets a blower...why? Bc on the street, without a blower, the e9x m3 isn't a fast car. This is the argument LM makes, and this is what I thought when I test drove a m3. We aren't talking about track performance, I'm talking about driving on the street.

I cant bring myself to spend more money on a slower car. When BMW gets the next gen m3 on the street,it will be a different story.

I find it funny that every time a conversation comes up about the m3 having no tq, people start whipping out graphs, tq multiplication, blah blah. Comparing the s65 to a z06, really?

The bottom line is, when you step out of a fbo 335, and turn the key on a e9x m3....it just feels dull

Ya 400 horsepower cars are slow on the street. I had trouble merging when a prius was in the next lane. Seriously?

The M3 is pretty damn quick as it sits. We're spoiled with horsepower here be realistic it's more power than the vast majority of cars on the road.

The point with the comparison between the Z06 and M3 goes to show how the M3's gearing levels the playing field because it can be geared more aggressively due to revving higher. It's simply a fact.

I like how he has made it seem like the N54 owners are the ones making the attacks when this wannabem5 clown is the one putting up an incorrectly titled post and making a blanket statement that ALL stock M3's are faster than ALL FBO 335s... So dumb.

Are N54 owners not speaking up for themselves or something? It's a headline, it's designed to catch your attention and I most certainly don't blame everyone. Just the dumb people.

@Sticky some of the upgraded turbo 335's or some of the guys that posted a few pages ago challenging any m3's. as for why, it would be a great race and really show what your car can do

335's are damn fast when modded correctly, but don't let that mislead you to think they are fast enough to take on ANY M3 now. Several 700+ whp e92 M3s running around, more than a handful of 800+ whp E46 M3's rolling around that no 335 is even touching, and there are def a bunch of high hp E36 M3s out there too.

Well, My car makes a little over 700WHP and my motor is completely stock. (Unlike any 700 or 800whp M3)

I clearly said stock for stock. I admitted that a PROPERLY tuned 335i will put more torque down to the wheels?

why would you bring up stock vs stock, of course the M3 is faster, no way would they let a non-m be faster in a straight line? - i didn't get that from your post though

yeah the M156 just tends to have THAT much more torque and holds it well

All you need to know is an M3 exceeded anything an N54 has ever done without even running to redline or on highest boost. How big do you think the disparity really is at the moment? When the S65 gets turbos how much bigger will it get?

Lol, exactly. Try to get that through the south Florida N54 guys thick heads but they are ignorant as a rock.

467247]Cast parts are stronger? And the N54 is designed to go to 8400 rpm? Please.

I've read from several sources that the n54 had certain internal parts that were forged ( not sure which ones specifically, but I believe the pistons are). But the s65 has cast parts. I could be wrong but I've seen it several places[/COLOR]
